Well, I don't think our program is known across Canada yet. Just in terms of the research, or not in terms of the research, but.... It's just not known across Canada; we are so busy delivering the program that we haven't even been out there or able to promote it.
What we do need is a very comprehensive evaluation of the program. Of course, we don't have the dollars to do that. Our funding comes in about eight different pockets, from both the federal government and the provincial government, which is just enough to run the program. We do need a very comprehensive evaluation, I think, so that we can develop a very stellar template that can go across the provinces and across the country. In order to do that, we need the funding, core funding. We're grappling all the time. Every year we're writing proposal after proposal, trying to hold on to the five positions that we have to continue to deliver the program. Those are barriers.
We have another couple of barriers in terms of the program. One is the bridging programs into education. Women don't just get off the street, come out of the sex trade, and suddenly have all of the educational skills they need to go into a college program. There needs to be more bridging done. They do healing work first and then that piece needs to come in. And as for post-program, after being in a program for a while that is very sensitive to their needs, and where we understand and look after them quite well so they can academically succeed and gain employment, they still need that support after this as well.
So there are still some glitches in the program, but definitely, as for what we have developed, if you look at 40 graduates and each one of those going out onto the street and stopping one child from being exploited, generationally, that is a cost saving to the government of billions of dollars.
